I have a Confession to make
I have a Confession to make, (perhaps more of a guilty pleasure) I actually like this film.
Working with an anorexic budget of less than $25,000.00, there are moments where we are convinced that we are being served up a luxurious feast. Perhaps something of a miracle on the order of loaves and fishes. This instant cult classic defies any effort to pigeon hole it. "Confession" is a diamond in the rough that explores whether God allows all of the horror in the world to exist, or whether by exercising our free will, is it we. But what if it's more complicated than that? How much of God is in us and how much of us in God? And by the way, how do the detectives know who they're interviewing ... it's not like the supernatural carry id.
Clearly, this film has a point of view, but not all of the answers ... it is for the viewer to consider, discuss and finally come to our own conclusions.
"Confession" is a film to be savored, not gulped down like a Big-Mac. I fully suspect that the negative reviews posted here are from folks that were looking for a Happy Meal; but if you have an appetite for something a bit more sophisticated, substantial and, yes, a bit challenging, you could do worse than to invest 2 hours of your precious time with this film.
